Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.DURHAM'S reserve wicketkeeper, Andrew Pratt, hit two off the last ball to produce a tie at Chester-le-Street yesterday. That meant both sides missed the chance to move to the top of the AXA League table.
Paul Grayson top-scored for the visitors with 59 in their modest total of 194 but Durham lost seven wickets for 25 runs late in the day and Pratt, making his Sunday League debut, came in at 188 for 9 with three balls left.
He turned Ronnie Irani to fine leg for three, Mike Foster scored a single and off the last ball Pratt took two to extra cover.
Brian Lara could only watch from the pavilion, suffering a bruised leg, as his Warwickshire team romped to the top after a 47-run win over Derbyshire. Lara was injured when he pulled a ball from Dominic Cork into his leg.
Chris Adams celebrated his England call-up with 100, hitting three fours and three sixes, as Sussex recorded a 28-run win over Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.
Courtney Walsh took 5 for 2 with his last 14 deliveries to help Gloucestershire to a four-wicket victory over Leicestershire at Bristol.
